WunderSlider Gallery

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Helo, used this plugin for the last month but then i needed a functionality that is included in WunderSlider and tried to make it work Didn’t find anything on documentation or FAQ, so tried to contact support. Not a single response. And then finally i go to change the code by my own, but code was too confuse, a mix of 3 plug-ins, hard to understand. If you want this plug-in to basic, no changes and have no questions or need for documentation is a good plugin, otherwise you should look for another better plugin

   I had a pretty challenging design to work with; the client wanted: 1. full page background photos 2. responsive 3. bullet navigation 4. editable HTML text and click-able images floating over each background image 5. swipe capability on touch screens I had a really hard time searching for a gallery plugin that could accomplish all of these – Wunderslider works great and Kento stays on top of the support questions if you get the paid version. It is worth it and I highly recommend it.

   I had high hopes for this slider, because I saw the word “responsive” in the description and was looking for something for a site I’m designing to be responsive across different viewports (desktops, tablets, smart phones, etc). The Wunderslider is not truly responsive, and you can see that from their WordPress demo page. Try narrowing the page, and you’ll see that while the slider does narrow down accordingly, the height remains fixed, and the images, instead of scaling down proportionally, gets cropped. And that’s even with the slider set to a Proportional setting. To me, and I think to most people, proportional means as one dimension changes (e.g., width), the other dimension (height) should change in proportion. I’m not sure what Proportional means to the Wunderslider developers; perhaps it means that you can set the width of the slider to a percentage (or proportion) of the containing object’s width. If you wish to see how a responsive slider should work, take a look at Soliloquy (the one thing I don’t like about Soliloquy, though, is I can’t bring in my NextGen pictures; I would have to re-upload my images). One of the good things about Wunderslider is the ease at which it integrates and displays NextGen galleries, so if you have a site with a fixed layout, and you are using NextGen as your gallery plugin, this is a very nice slider. Good transitions, overlay capabilities, and captioning. Installation is a bit tricky. For those having problems, you download one ZIP file, but then you have to drill down deep (like three levels down) into the ZIP file to extract and upload these two folders to your plugins directory via FTP: wunderslider and wunderslider-gallery. Then go into your plugins page to activate both Wunderslider and Wunderslider Gallery. In summary, Wunderslider is a plugin with very strong features. It’s very easy to use and has a lot of options. But I think if you are just beginning with a site’s design, it just makes sense to design with responsiveness in mind since that’s the way web design is moving. Wunderslide falls short of being fully responsive, but I will be happy to come back to it if it ever does so.
